Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 99: Army Expansion

At this moment, there was a sound from outside.

"Generals Pompey and Levy are here."

Li Wei and Pompey walked in together, a strange color flashed in Sura's eyes, when did they get so close, but the strange color disappeared quickly.

"Everyone is here."

Li Wei said with a smile, and put a sword on the table after speaking.

"what is this?"

Sura asked curiously.

"A real top-notch famous sword, given to General Su La, and at the same time, I am asking for something."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Oh... that is the famous sword worth millions of dinars."

Dorabella said.

"That's right, how do you know."

Li Wei looked curious.

"It's been known for a long time."

Dolabela said, and looked at the sword enviously after speaking. This is a famous sword worth a million dinars, which has exceeded his entire net worth.

"How is this going?"

someone asked.

Li Wei told the whole story of what happened yesterday. Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned pale. Only the famous generals who are truly recognized by Li Wei can get this sword. Could it be that they are not as good as Pompey?

Sura looked happy, but Li Wei still had a good eye? He pulled out the sword, and the sword gave off a chilly breath, as if the temperature in the whole room had dropped by one degree.

Su La gently caressed the fine patterns on the sword, but she had no idea why such patterns appeared on the sword.

"So you think I'm a famous general."

Sura said with a smile.

"Well deserved! The biggest reason why I support you is that I think Rome will not be your opponent."

Levi said.

"Yes, yes, I accept this sword."

Although I don't know how true or false Li Wei's words are, Sura is really useful.

"Why don't you give it a try? Yesterday's sword cut off Pompey's sword with one blow."

Dorabella said eagerly.

"That's right, let's meet."

The other lieutenants said that they also wanted to see how sharp the one million dinar sword was.

"I also think it's good to try."

Li Wei also said.

He has great confidence in this sword. Unless it is a sword from China in the East, there is absolutely no sword in the West that can match this sword.

"Ok."

Sura thought for a while and said, one of his personal guards took Li Wei's sword, and then slashed at the dagger in Sura's hand.

"Ding Dang!"

Sura's sword was cut in two, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground.

Everyone exclaimed, what a good sword.

No wonder it is worth one million dinars, which is really worth the money.

"Not bad."

Sura felt very satisfied.

Li Wei is also very happy, in this way, his own brand can be regarded as a hit.

"By the way, there is another very important thing. It costs me a lot to maintain the three legions. I wonder if you can afford some of our legion's expenses."

Levi said.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, really afraid that something would come, just now when it was mentioned that the supplies were insufficient, Li Wei was going to pay for the army again.

Su La frowned slightly. It stands to reason that he must pay the money, but now he is also very nervous.

Li Wei's complexion changed slightly. Could it be that he was asked to maintain the expenses of the three legions alone? This would really kill him.

"Your request is completely reasonable, but now our supplies are very tight, and we can only support you with a part of the money."

Sura said.

"How many?"

Levi asked.

"300,000 dinars per month."

Sura said.

In fact, he is not short of money,

He levied a great deal of dramach in Greece.

But now all kinds of materials have risen to the sky, money has become worthless, and he still plans to expand the army, his funds are simply not enough.

Li Wei couldn't help frowning. If it was before the war, 300,000 dinars a month might be enough to cover the expenses of three legions, but now hehe, food alone is not enough.

"It's not uncommon for you to know the prices of various materials now. Food prices have risen to six times what they were before the war, which is not enough for the legion to consume. Moreover, arrows, javelins, and weapons and armor need to be replenished, all of which require a lot of money. "

Levi said.

"I know, but now we also have difficulties. I need to support eleven legions. I hope you understand the difficulties, and we also need to expand the army."

Sura said.

Li Wei raised his eyebrows, Nima, these legions are hard to maintain, and they want to expand the army? It seems that war is really a money-burning game.

"I know you have money, and I hope you can also expand your army."

Sura said.

"who said it?"

Li Wei quickly said, whoever dares to say that I am rich, stand up for me.

"We have already found out how much you earn from sugar, spirits and swords, so don't pretend here."

Dolabela looked like he had seen through his fancy pretending to be poor.

Li Wei wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to get some money from Su La, but unexpectedly he was beaten up by a local tyrant instead.

"I have decided to expand the legion to more than twenty-two within two years. I will give you a task. Expand one legion within this year, and expand at least one more legion next year."

Sura said with a smile.

Li Wei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, the task given to me is too heavy.

"Can I refuse?"

"cannot!"

Dolabella answered first, as if he was very happy to see Levi suffocating.

Li Wei glanced at him helplessly, Nima, why are you so stupid to join in the fun.

"Since you want to expand the two legions, then give me some more money."

Levi said.

Sulla ignored him and continued: "Our current income alone cannot expand the army, so I decided to occupy nearby cities and obtain the supplies we need from those cities that support Rome."

Hearing this, Li Wei became excited, is he robbing his house openly?

Sounds like a great place to be.

He felt a huge gap in future funds, and it was time to find a way to make up for it.

"And what about Scipio? Have we left him?"

Levi asked.

"A few days ago, I played against Xibei. He is a difficult opponent. We need to be cautious."

Sura said with a serious face.

Li Wei couldn't help opening his mouth, Scipio is a difficult opponent, are you sure you are not joking?

It seems that the history books record that this Scipio is very bad, and he surrendered without a fight.

"Cough... cough... Scipio only has a few legions now. I think it only needs to be with Pompey's army, plus one of your legions, to defeat Scipio."

Li Wei said that he thought it would be nice to be able to grab a credit.

Pompey opened his mouth wide, why don't you discuss this kind of thing with him.

"Are you sure you can win? That's Scipio!"

Sura said with a serious face.

In fact, he was not too reassured about Li Wei, after all, his age was there, and he did not have any dazzling record, of course, this sneak attack was not counted.

"I promise to win!"

Levi said.
